TU Cent Thoughts, 12-20-05

[greybeta]

My friends, I feel like I’ve fallen into this dark, deep pit and I don’t know how to get out. I just swing wildly, looking for help. My friends want to help me, but they don’t know where I am. It’s too dark where I am now to reach me. But perhaps one noisy friend will risk going into my dark cave to get me out. Don’t get your hopes up.

John Drymon, the friend that I have known since kindergarten, called me up yesterday. Ah, it’s rare to find a friendship like ours, one that started so early and lasted. But he’s a lover of all things British so I should call him an ole chap.

We also visited Mike’s apartment. Now Mike’s friends know the red mage of our group. Yes, Father John is the red mage of our group because he knows everything. He once memorized an entire edition of Trivial Pursuit (good Lord, he’d go last and he would win on one really long turn...he learned to miss some on purpose just so that we’d play with him). He has the full beard in preparation for his priesthood in the Episcopalian Church. I will go visit his church over break, especially if Father John is giving the message.

In respect to genuinechris and zoethe, I will start limiting myself to two pages on Word documents for all my posts. Sorry, moocowrich, only history majors like to hear history majors ramble.

The rogue needed gas so the white mage gave the rogue fifteen dollars worth of gas as a Christmas present (the white mage would have given it anyways according to the Scriptures). In exchange, the rogue gave the white mage a “Warning: Slow Children at Play” yellow road sign stolen from Arkadelphia. Actually, the white mage kind of grabbed it and thanked the rogue for the gift. The rogue understood what had happened. And now a road sign from Arkadelphia will soon hang in the living area of a university apartment in Tulsa.

Convo of the Day:
D2: Do you know why we are good friends, John?
John: No, why are we good friends, Daniel?
D2: Because you understand the principle that the same ships built in the same shipyard sail for different ports.
John: What principle?
D2: Okay, let me explain. Every nation needs a navy right?
John: Yes.
D2: Now most of your ships are going to be built in a select few ports, right?
John: That does seem to be the case.
D2: Now a few of the ships will be part of the same fleet and travel together, but most of the ships are destined to go to different parts of the world, right?
John: Right.
D2: John Drymon John Drymon, we’ve known each other since kindergarten. But we understood that we were different personalities destined to do different things. And because we realize that, we remain the best of friends.
John: Daniel Tu, that is an awesome analogy.

Rent is a good musical. I can only recommend one viewing though, as I hate poetry. And musicals are just a bunch of poems set to music.

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Do I ramble too much?

Well, 7 of my last 20 friends posts are from you... but this is the break and people are not so prolific in their writing now.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

That was a noncommittal answer...

[renough.livejournal.com]

'tis not really an answer at all. More a statement, really. You just take posting more seriously than the rest of my friends list. It seems that out of 40 or so friends, my friends list usually is comprised of 3 people posting. Sure, there are a few here or there, but they post more like I do, more sporadic... maybe twice a week.

Then again, I also have a more private journal that I keep personal thoughts and such in. It makes me wonder the real purpose behind blogging. Do you think people want attention? Do they do it for themselves? For each other? I'm curious and I may now write a post based on it. :)

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Let's be honest. If you didn't want attention, you wouldn't be blogging. You'd be keeping a paper journal. But we obviously want to know others' thoughts. And they want to know our thoughts. So we do it for ourselves and for others.

And yes, I would be interested in seeing a post from you on this matter. :)

Also, I have another idea for Photoshop. Do you remember Metal Mario of Mario 64 fame? I need you to photoshop a chef's hat onto him. Then put him in a kitchen (try to find some old school game kitchen...maybe yoshi's kitchen). Then it needs these title somewhere: Supreme Iron Chef. You think you're up to the challenge?

[renough.livejournal.com]

Heh, he asks if I'm up for the challenge...

Here's the rough draft:


I don't know Yoshi's kitchen, and the text may be sketchy... lemme know what you think.

Dang, that rough draft is pretty dang good. However, try to look for the font used on the cover of the official Iron Chef book.

Use Iron Chef Stadium as the background. This is a nice picture.

Not too much. More than most of my other LJ friends, but that's not saying much. Between you, Mister Ferrett and Lady Ferrett, __verity__, and haapppening, I'm gonna have to find a cyber cafe in London to check my friends page, because all those daily+ updates means I'll have way too much to read when I get home. Not like I can understand what haapppening is saying anyway, but I like to stay updated.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Yeah, going on vacation is very bad for keeping up with friends lists.

Sorry, moocowrich, only history majors like to hear history majors ramble.

Lies. I'm a philosophy major, so I understand the art of The Ramble. History, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and many other disciplines concern themselves with Rambling. In fact, rhetoric is an entire field of study devoted to honing the Art Of Ramble.

We are among the few who appreciate The Art of the Ramble. However, seeing as how I write for an audience and not a class, I will have to ramble less.
